@BabbyUnit I’m sure the Commissioner will like global enforcement of every nation’s take down laws.

@punchhappiness @t0phie I’d recommend speaking to these guys - bygeorgelegal.com.au they’re a specialist IP firm that regular people can actually afford

@Paul_Karp The subsequent article on this says Al-Kateb has been overturned - did they make orders or is it just a preliminary indication of the attitude of the bench?

Australia asked six countries to resettle stateless Rohingya man after he began high court challenge, lawyer says #auspol #auslaw theguardian.com/australia-news…

@auspolsucks @grugstan @colesenjoyer Yep, and a failure to schedule inspections should definitely reduce that further. The RRP can recover that from the agent if they want it so badly.
English
@grugstan @colesenjoyer Obviously a lot of factors are at play here, but it’s far from clear they can screw your over like that. See eg section 211A(3)(b) of the RTA. Potentially worth looking closely at this if you have the time & sending a letter across.

@Paul_Karp Be the hero we need and explain the Briginshaw principle Paul

Have just discovered that non-Victorians seem to be unaware what this is. Is that an accurate observation or have I got an unrepresentative sample?

I also cannot imagine that being an effective rhetorical device given the general attitude of judges to flowery submissions.

To describe these proposed Federal Court Rule changes as a “full-frontal assault on the principle of open justice” rather neatly demonstrates the breathless and inaccurate reporting justifying them.
English
Another good point! Never. Try that - never finding out why someone was suing/was sued.

@Paul_Karp It may even be never. Not uncommon for directions hearing in the Federal Court to be repeatedly pre-adjourned for years and then settle privately years later without even having a hearing.
English
@Paul_Karp I mean this is open, and in a more measured fashion, just not on a timeline that suits the interests of media organisations. There is a real element of unfairness in a respondent being hounded while it formulated a response to potentially baseless pleadings.

This is OUTRAGEOUS - non-party/media access to Federal Court documents has been restricted until the first hearing.
Court reporting is gonna SUCK without documents.

@Paul_Karp The Court can and frequently does depart from positions articulated in the Rules. I’d characterise it as a respectful request, noting the applicant appears to have provided the pleading to other media organisations, and snip the article
English
@Paul_Karp That’s a pretty different context to publishing one set of allegations on filing and following up a month later with the defence allegations.
English
@Paul_Karp To the extent there reports in (say) the Oz saying “documents obtained by the Australian”, that could be referred to in any corro to see if the court would depart from the position on the rules, so as to provide a balanced perspective.
English
Given the almost universally terrible level of court reporting, this really isn’t that concerning.
